Single pistil on a male sour bubble

[lefthandseeds]

In the dioecious plant Silene latifolia (white campion), a hermaphrodite-inducing mutation was found to be localized to the Y chromosome in the gynoecium-suppression region (Miller and Kesseli, 2011). The Y chromosome plays a key role in sex determination in S. latifolia , and three sex-determining regions have been identified on the Y: the female suppressor region, an early stamen development region, and a late stamen development region. When hermaphrodites were used as pollen donors, the sex ratio of offspring they produced through crosses was biased toward females.

I wonder if this is the study that was referenced.

Hmm I can’t say for sure… the literature about this is vast and the rabbit hole goes deep
I don’t remember coming across this paper though.

From what I understand from genetics(very limited) they used the known modes of inheritance classification.

And ran their problem plants through a pedigree analysis

For an added layer of pleasure, let’s say they each have very strict rules and some overlap lol

That’s how they came to the conclusion that our beloved pistillate males were x to autosome.

I tried to get definitive answers about all this intersex stuff and its a crap shoot, “it depends” kind of deal…

A perfect example of this would be peyote purple

This line is feminized but when Charlie first released it, he called it regular due to males popping here and there. There’s a thread somewhere on the internet where him and another breeder talk openly about how he brought the line to 95%+ female(from 75%, I’d guess) “through careful selection”

If you want to read more I posted some links months back about s1 males and such…

Intersex male? Pics inside

If you can test f3s, that would be the smartest path I think. It’s all about gene recombination. I’ve read that sour diesel was a tough one to self due to it showing lots of those pistillate males… here From Tom Actually and perhaps ironically, the quickest way out of the situation is through (forced) selfings coupled with progeny testing. In post #18 Charlie tells of Wesos encountering populations of “mostly males” via selfing. Sour D and others have shown this as well. These are not males,…

I think it’s great that more and more people want to learn about the genetics of our favorite plants

I have just found out I’m a member of the BOG male with a pistil club.My SourBluetooth male has pistils on 3 small spots.Im going to run him with his Twin out the seed Sister and log it so anyone want to see what this shit does lasso up a seat we’re going in hot made the decision to Go ahead Odin save my soul.The Twin Hoedown is commencing I’m to far committed.Do or die
